Option one does not apply: I have never EVER purchased a book thinking anything even remotely similar to option one. I might have this one time, but it was too close to call so I can't say that I did.
Option two does not apply: There are many free things that have great value.
Option three doesn't work for me because I never look at personal book purchases as some sort of contribution to anything other than my self. "Here you go me! Yay!"

So you can just replace purchase with download then? (I mean semantically not physically lol) I suppose that is the point I am trying to get to here. If you don't place the author's well being in your mind when downloading a book, why do you purchase books at all when they are all readily available to download with no surcharge from various sites?
